Bonfire Night

Today is Guy Fawkes Night, aka bonfire night. If you're having a bonfire, please be safe. It's a strange holiday. It goes back to November 5, 1605 when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot was arrested while placing explosives beneaht the House of Lords in London. It had all kinds of political and religious implications at the time. I remember it as the night of the community bonfire when I was a kid.

Remember remember the fifth of
NovemberGunpowder, treason and plot.I see no reason why gunpowder,
treasonShould ever be forgot...
